Marathi
Marathi is a proper noun and adjective used to describe both the language and the cultural identity of the people from Maharashtra. As a language name, it is treated as an uncountable noun; one does not refer to multiple "Marathis" when discussing the language itself.
When used as an adjective, it modifies nouns to specify origin or linguistic characteristics, such as in "Marathi cinema" or "Marathi speakers." It maintains a formal and neutral register, typically appearing in academic, linguistic, or official governmental contexts.
